Do you think Darwin is right

I think that one of slimebeast's problems is that physics in the area being discussed sounds so weird to most laymen. I mean, a lot of that stuff TOTALLY flies in the face of 'common sense'.

Seriously, I can't know the precise momentum of something I know the exact location of? WTF is that? So slimebeast finds these explanations repellent because they are strange to him. I can see this in his arguments that basically boil down to "it sounds crazy so it can't be true".

I'm afraid, slimebeast, that they can.

lol, don't assume so much.

The problem isn't understanding.

The problem is that a multiverse theory is less reasonable to believe in than in a God.

People want to believe in it (and similar theories, despite not having a scientific basis - but hey, at least it's not a God), but they actually dont. I don't think anyone actually believes that there exists an insane amount of parallel universes with near carbon copies of each person on earth running around and living the same life.

I may be wrong, after all I'm speculating as to your mental processes, but you've apparently misinterpreted what I said. 

I never said you don't understand the proposals.  I said you find them very strange and reject them based on how bizarre they seem.  "And multiverse is a ridiculous explanation, it's just laughable that there would be 1000's of Slimebeasts out there living a near perfect copy of my life."

The multiverse theory/hypothesis (I'm not fully up to date on this stuff) is not strongly proven, but it does have support in that it's consistent AFAIK with the observed universe and the relevant mathematics.  So it does not take "faith" to believe it might be true. 

Just because people believe something strange, you seem to presume that it's just as scientifically unfounded as God.  That is not always the case, and it is not the case here.  Get over yourself.

(1)You should update yourself then.

(2)"it's consistent AFAIK with the observed universe and the relevant mathematics" lol, of course it is, else it would have been discarded`, right? But "consistent" with observable data proves nothing. You need data that supports the multiverse theory, or else it takes blind faith to believe it might true, yes. That's the situation with multiverse, it takes blind faith to believe in and yes, it's just as scientifically unfounded as God or the theories that we're all just part of a simulation. Pretty typical though that you like many others have been tricked to believe otherwise.

Bottom line:

(3)A lot of people, atheists, think the God concept is weird, it's just irrational. On the same basis of evidence and  arguments I think multiverse is weird and irrational, and very laughable.

1.  Was that some type of shot at me?  I think it's hilarious that you would say something about my lack of knowledge. 

2.  "You need data that supports the multiverse theory, or else it takes blind faith to believe it might true, yes."  Wrong!  The key word here is "might".  If someone believes that it's definitely true without more supporting evidence than the possibility that it's true, then yes faith is involved.  But it takes no faith to believe that it might be true.  (It would only if the idea is contradicted by evidence, as is the case for some beliefs.) 

3.  As akuma said, atheists who reject God based only on how strange the concept is to them are just as misguided as you -- but that only means you have company in being wrong.
